WARNING

• Wood is NOT fl llame retardant and will burn. Grills, fi rire pits

and chimineas are a fi rire hazard if placed too close to

your structure.

• Wear gloves to avoid injury during installation.

• During installation, follow all safety warnings provided

with your tools and use safety glasses.

• Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage

season and tighten as required.(But not so tight that you

crack the wood) It is particularly important that this

procedure be followed at the beginning of each season.

• Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges twice

monthly during usage season to be certain they are in

place. Replace when necessary. It is especially important

to do this at the beginning of each new season.

• For rusted areas on metallic members such as hinges,

brackets, etc. sand and repaint, using a non lead-based

paint meeting the requirements of Title 16 CRF Part 1303.

• Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood

sometimes will lift in the dry season causing splinters to

appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a safe

environment. Treating your Product with protection

(sealant) after sanding will help prevent severe checking/

splitting and other weather damage.

• We have applied an oil based stain to your unit. This is

done for color only. Once or twice a year, depending on

your climate conditions, you must apply some type of

protection (sealant) to the wood of your unit. Prior to the

application of sealant, lightly sand any “rough” spots on

your set. Please note this is a requirement of your

warranty.

OWNERS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE LEGIBILITY OF THE WARNING LABELS

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK AND TIGHTEN ALL HARDWARE AT THE BEGINNING AND DURING

THE SEASON AS THEY MAY LOOSEN DUE TO WOOD EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION.

Safety Warnings and Maintenance Instructions

About Our Wood

Your Backyard Discovery product is made out of 100% Meranti wood. Although we take

great care in selecting the best quality lumber available, wood is still a product of nature

and susceptible to weathering which can change the appearance of your set.

Your Backyard Discovery structure is designed and constructed of quality

materials. As with all outdoor products it will weather and wear. To maximize

the enjoyment, safety and life of your structure it is important that you properly

maintain it.

What causes weathering? Does it a ect

the strength of my product?

One of the main reasons for weathering is the

e ects of water (moisture); the moisture content

of the wood at the surface is di erent than the

interior of the wood. As the climate changes,

moisture moves in or out of the wood, causing

tension which can result in checking and or

warping. You can expect the following due to

weathering. These changes will not a ect the

strength of the product:

1. Checking is surface cracks in the wood along

the grain. A post (4” x 4”) will experience more

checking than a board (1” x 4”) because the surface

and interior moisture content will vary more widely

than in thinner wood.

2. Warping results from any distortion (twisting,

cupping) from the original plane of the board and

often happens from rapid wetting and drying of

the wood.

3. Fading happens as a natural change in the

wood color as it is exposed to sun-light and will

turn grey over time.

How can I reduce the amount of

weathering to wood product?

1. Your wood product is coated with an oil-

based stain. Sunlight will break down the

coating, so we recommend applying

an oil-based stain on a yearly basis

(see your local stain and paint supplier for a

recommended product). You must apply some

type of protection (sealant) to the wood of your

product. Please note this is a requirement

of your warranty. Most weathering is just

the normal result of nature and will not affect

safety. However if you are concerned that a part

has experienced a severe weathering problem

please call our customer service department for

further assistance.

2. Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the

wood sometimes will lift in the dry season

causing splinters to appear. Light sanding may

be necessary to maintain a safe environment.

Treating your Product with protection (sealant)

after sanding will help prevent severe checking/

splitting and other weather damage.

Basic Setup Dimensions & Assembly Notes

Important Assembly Notes

1) While assembling unit, take time before and after each phase to make sure unit is level. If unit is

not level, assembly will be difficult and improper assembly may result. Extra care must be taken to

ensure the unit is square.

2) Pay close attention to the ITEMS NEEDED FOR EACH PHASE. They can be a valuable aid when

sorting your wood and hardware. Assembly will be made easier if items are sorted by phase.

3) Pay close attention to make sure you are using the correct hardware in the correct phases. Using

incorrect hardware may result in improper assembly.

4) Whenever a cross dowel is inserted in each end of support brace, use the cross dowel tool to align the

cross dowel with the flathead cap screw.

5) Read the steps of each phase thoroughly. The written steps may include important information not

shown in the illustrations.
